These have become very reasonable in price. A <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/products\/catalog?q=2+tb+seagate+external&amp;oe=utf-8&amp;rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&amp;client=firefox-a&amp;um=1&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;tbm=shop&amp;cid=4930448064947920154&amp;sa=X&amp;ei=PIxfTv6xDqH-sQLY3dgz&amp;ved=0CDMQ8gIwAA\">2 Terabyte drive from Seagate<\/a> runs around $80.<\/li>\n<li>Set your backup routine to run on one of them nightly, keeping the other one off-site (such as in a safety deposit box or in a safe at your parents&#8217; home, etc). <\/li>\n<li>Re-sync the off-site drive at least monthly. <\/li>\n<li>Rather than backup software, we use <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scootersoftware.com\/\">Beyond Compare<\/a>, a sophisticated Windows and Linux file synchronization system (not Mac compatible). Therefore, the files on both drives are usable and not compressed (making it easier for us to confirm all is backed up). This also allows the nightly routines to only touch files that have changed or have been added that day.<\/li>\n<li>Often it takes one loss of precious memories to make backing up a priority; don&#8217;t wait for this to happen!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now, back to our prettier topic!<\/p>\n<p>Karen and Beth share some personal stories in these introspective pieces&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">ngg_shortcode_1_placeholderbeth ervin. <a href=\"http:\/\/cottagearts-net.stores.yahoo.net\/myweekpagepak1.html\">my week pak<\/a><br \/>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">ngg_shortcode_2_placeholderkaren wilhelm. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cottagearts-net.stores.yahoo.net\/suskpapak.html\">sunny skies<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Beth and Patti are the queens of card making and digital scrapbooking is an amazing tool for this hobby!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">ngg_shortcode_3_placeholderbeth ervin. <a href=\"http:\/\/cottagearts-net.stores.yahoo.net\/flyawaypagepak.html\">fly away pak<\/a><br \/>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">ngg_shortcode_4_placeholder<\/span><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">beth ervin. <a href=\"http:\/\/cottagearts-net.stores.yahoo.net\/buwi2papak.html\">butterfly wings 2 pak<\/a><br \/>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">ngg_shortcode_5_placeholder<\/span><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">beth ervin. <a href=\"http:\/\/cottagearts-net.stores.yahoo.net\/bubepapak.html\">bumbly bees<\/a><br \/>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">ngg_shortcode_6_placeholderpatti senter. <a href=\"http:\/\/cottagearts-net.stores.yahoo.net\/faflpapak.html\">faint whispers<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/cottagearts-net.stores.yahoo.net\/offbepa2papa.html\">off beaten path 2 papers<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/cottagearts-net.stores.yahoo.net\/paitredpapak.html\">paint it red<\/a><br \/>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<p>See layout details in our gallery <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cottagearts.net\/photopost\/showgallery.php?cat=795\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Come back for our next post sharing how Patti made her Dream collage!<\/p>\n<p>Happy creating!
